World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

To the surprise of nobody who had paid attention to the last 70-something years, Israel breaks a ceasefire. Again. Tel Aviv needs to burn. Where the hell are the good ones who claim not to believe in this? Is the zio controlled media successfully blocking any evidence of resistance against bibi and his ilk or are there just NOT anyone who doesn't agree with this?
From what I've read, the real Jews in Israel are terrified of the zionists, & don't dare speak-up, about anything.
Ideological-dominion, no matter where it is, is a social-process-totalitarianism 1st.
If you live in the US of A, then you're likely to be discovering this, shortly, as Trump's been in-power 3/16ths of his alotted-term, & he's already got 48% of "Project 2025" implimented, & there's a tipping-point coming where even the masquerade of "democracy" falls-off.
There is going to be the same kind of rampaging-genociding happening in North America as there has been in Gaza these last years.
( the National Guard are being thrown-around within the US by Trump simply to "normalize" federal totalitarianism by him, obviously, & ICE, the DHS, the National Guard, etc, are his means of enforcing his shortly-to-be-total dictatorship.
As somebody pointed-out, court-injunctions now are legally-powerless against him & his appointees, Republicans now "de-register" voters who would vote Democrat ( apparently part of how he clobbered Harris, in 2024 ), & his "de-naturalization" outright removes-citizenship.
Does anybody seriously believe that all registered Democrats are going to have US citizenship once he crosses the "rubicon"?
If anybody does, they're fools.
ICE exists to deal-with all who aren't HIS kind of Republican, as the world will shortly see. )
This is precisely why I, a trans woman married to a disabled trans woman, am making plans and seeking help with getting the hell out. It might be kicking the can down the road but I HAVE to survive.SHE has to survive this. I studied this shit in college when "Never Again" was assumed to be intrinsically correct. I know where this is heading and I'm not sure which is winning out: fear or anger.
